This was last night's dinner. Quick Fajita Turkey. I
used a very mild chile powder as I was trying to break
my 7 year old into chiles, slowly. No complaints from
his end. He ate all 8 bites without pulling teeth. He
loves poultry. The zucchini was another situation all
together. I guess Like Father, Like Son.

Anyway, here is what I did:

   2      tbsp          olive oil

In small bowl, combine chile powder, cilantro, brown
sugar subs, pepper and cumin. Whisk to combine.

Rub mixture into turkey cutlets. Let marinate for 1
hour in refrigerator.

Preheat George Foreman Grill. When hot, spray with
nonstick spray. Place turkey cutlets on grill and
close top. Cook for 4 minutes. Check for doneness. If
so, remove. If not, cook for 1 more minute.

Serve with grilled vegetables.

For vegetables:

Slice peppers into long strips, and make sure to cut a
small slice off one side of the zucchini before
slicing it horizontally.

Coat the grill with nonstick spray and preheat for 5
minutes. 

In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, pepper and
salt. Place the vegetables on the grill and sprinkle
with the oil mixture. Grill for 6-8 minutes until they
are browned and tender-crisp.

Serves 4

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* I used Sweet & Low Brown Sugar Substitute. I found
it in the baking aisle of the supermarket, near the
sugars. It cannot be found in all supermarkets (I
checked 3). It is a bit sweeter than the normal stuff,
so use a bit less.

If you don't need to use substitutes, use the real
thing - light brown sugar.
